This still holds up very well even after almost 13 years. I still remember the first time I watched these I cried during several scenes.
A question that I still have though is what is the name of the first song playing in the hidden temple scene?

RIP my good friend. Okay, I never knew you, but I've reviewed your stuff. The best part is when he's fighting those three black enemies at once. My only disappointment was that you didn't show the toads fighting the kingdom much. This was so weird, because it was a dream in the actual game with Wart! The sprite effects were great.

I feel bad for never playing this actual game. Yeah, it was weird with how you revived Luigi off screen. At least there's an explanation for it! This holds up pretty well. We all miss your brilliance, dude.
